Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1887-02-08

no blockade of the Belt line OF street
cars to-day. Not more than one
quarter OF the usual number of trucks
which block and choke South and
West streets were out. Most OF the
piers were open to receive freight, but
little came, as compared with the anti
strike time. The prospect of a settle
ment of the difficulties is remote, each
side being confident of coming out OF
the trouble a victor. Both sides pro-
mise remarkable developments this
week, but are dark about their nature.
On the Clyde lines dock, East river,
the steamer Clyde sailed some hours
later than her schedule time, but car
ried a full cargo and her quota OF
passengers. The Seminole, OF this
line, also carried a full cargo and
| her quota OF passengers. The Super
intendent declared he was getting
| along very well. The men who apply
for work at the Mallory line dock are
being turned away by hundreds. An
| other steamer is expected to-day, and
| there are plenty OF men ready to work
on her. The Ward line dock is clear
| of freight and deserted. Two boats
| are expected to-day or tomorrow, and
the company will have plenty of help
to discharge their cargoes later. The
| Continental line dock has plenty of
freight being delivered and the whole
bulkhead was lined with trucks. The
| New Haven freight line and the
| Hartford line were doing more bust
ness than on Saturday.
Opposed TO Consolidation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Representa-
tive Henley received a telegram from
Surveyor General Hammond, asking
him to use his influence against the
passage of that clause in the Legisla-
tive Executive and Judicial Appropri-
alton bill, which provides for the con.
| solidation of the office of Surveyors
| General, and the abolition of those
offices in 1889. The plan proposed
for the consolidation is to combine the
offices OF Surveyors General of Cali
fornia and Nevada, and when all the
Surveyors General offices are abolished
the business will be transacted al
Washington. This could be con
veniently and economically done, sc
far as the agricultural entries are
concerned, but in the case OF mining
entries, the abolition OF the position o
Surveyor General would work grea'
injustice and serious delays. Rep
re~sentative Henley will oppose it, ane
it will be resisted in the Senate.
